The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is all but official at this point and when the 707 horsepower 4-door sedan arrives later this year, it will offer at least the same level of performance as the Hellcat Challenger and depending on how the Chrysler Group equips the supercharged Charger - there is chance that the Charger could offer up some better figures.
